Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for protecting computer software and / or computer-readable data against unauthorized use as well as a Protection device for use in such a process.
- the high quality software protection methods available today are based encryption of documents, program code or resources for future security requirements, especially for widespread ones and correspondingly reasonably priced software, as well as for its safe usage-dependent Billing not off.
- US 5 826 011 describes an electronic safety device designed as hardware to protect computer software during installation which connected to the user's computer.
- This electronic security device contains various secret installation data, which the Installation of the protected program are required.
- US 5 805 802 describes a module for the protection of software in one Computer network comprising a microprocessor for implementing a controlled access to the software, an interface for connection with a network server, a programmable memory in which a usage limit code is stored, as well as a device for processing this usage limit code and a current user number.
- WO 00/20948 describes a copy protection system that uses a signature method with a coding or encryption method using a variable key combined.
- a disadvantage of the latter protection method is that the licensor to a predetermined by the manufacturer of the method or the protective device (box) Company code (Firm Code) is instructed. This creates a certain Dependency of the licensor on the manufacturer of the process or Box, which on the one hand restricts the licenser and on the other hand from the point of view of the licensor leads to a not yet optimal security.
- An essential one is that each licensor has a specific, fixed default Firm Code requires what the licensee, i.e. the end customer of the software, can lead to him using software from different licensors must use several protective devices at the same time.
- the invention is therefore based on the technical problem, an improved system to protect computer software and / or computer readable data against to provide unauthorized use that enables it to be used simultaneously for many licensors for many products independently of each other can be used.
- the problem is solved according to the characterizing part of the first claim in that the encryption of the software or data at the licensor is initialized depending on a freely chosen one by the licensor secret firm key that encryption the transmission of license parameters from the licensor to the licensee depending on a secret Private serial key is done and that the decryption of the protected software or data is initialized at the licensee depending on the Licensor selected Firm Key.
- the advantage of the method according to the invention is in particular that many independent license parameters from different licensors for different software or data can be, by using the secret private serial key for the encrypted transmission of the license parameters it is ensured that the creation, modification and deletion of license parameters only for one Licensee can take place and not with other licensees because there is no identical secret private serial key SK. For this It is also not possible to manipulate the license parameters because these cannot be decrypted. This makes it possible to change the license parameters on insecure transmission paths, for example over the Internet, perform without sacrificing security for the licensor would be connected.
- Another great advantage of the method according to the invention is that that the licensee of copy-protected software, i.e. the end customer, only need to use a single procedure, even if it uses a multitude of different ones Use software from several different licensors want. This not only lowers the cost of copy protection for both the licensor as well as the licensee significantly, but in particular also increases acceptance by the licensee.
- the licensee is preferably assigned a unique serial number and the signature of the transfer of the license parameters takes place from the licensor to the licensee depending on this serial number.
- the license parameters are preferably stored as a hardware add-on trained protective device (box), which at an interface of the Computer of the licensee is connected.
- This protection device contains the required for automatic decryption of the protected software or data Descrambler.
- a limiter can be provided at the licensee which is the period and / or the number of decryption of the protected software or data. You can do this optionally Tamper-proof date and / or time information from a reference source be handed over to the licensee. This is preferably a limiter also part of the protective device.
- a secret private box key specified by the manufacturer is stored in the protective device, which provides a public box key.
- the manufacturer also provides a list of valid public box keys.
- the private Box Key is not dependent on the licensee and licensor and can therefore can be used for software or data from different licensors.
- the public box key calculated from the private box key becomes encryption the transfer of license parameters between licensor and licensee used. Checking the validity of the public box key prevents that an attacker delivers any public box key that he has obtained from an invalid, has determined the private box key chosen by him and thus that of the licenser can decrypt transmitted data.
- the task directed to a device is based on one Protection device according to the preamble of claim 9.
- the object is achieved in that the protective device contains a device that randomly Secret private serial key to encrypt the transmission of the license parameters between licensor and licensee.
- the memory in the protection device includes several storage areas for storage of license parameters from different licensors, the same can be done Protection device from the licensee in connection with software or data from a Many different licensors can be used.
- Usage-based billing with the licensor is possible if the protective device also contains a tamper-proof limiter, which the period and / or the number of decryption of the protected Software or data limited.
- the method shown schematically in Figure 1 enables both protection as well as the usage-based billing of computer software and / or computer-readable data from a variety of licensors 1, 2 to n.
- the software or data are initially stored on the licensor's servers and can transferred to a licensee's computer over the Internet (Download).
- the protective device 3 contains a microprocessor 5, a non-volatile memory (EEPROM) with several memory areas 6a, 6b, 6c, the number of which is number the licenser corresponds to 1, 2 to n.
- EEPROM non-volatile memory
- the protective device 3 also contains an encryption and decryption device 7 and a device 8 for generating a random secret private serial key SK. It is also a limiter 9 for limiting the period and / or the number of Decryption of the protected software or data provided.
- All essential parts of the protective device 3, in particular the microprocessor 5, the memory 6, the encryption and decryption 7 and the device 8 for Generation of the private serial key SK, are on a single integrated semiconductor circuit, a so-called ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) formed, which from a stable housing 10, for example Plastic that is surrounded.
- ASIC Application Specific Integrated Circuit
- the list in FIG. 2a contains the keys and data from the manufacturer of the method and the protection device.
- This includes a secret common key (CK), which is used to generate a secret Firm Common Key (FCK) for a specific Licensor is used.
- the manufacturer also chooses a private one Box Key (BK), which is secret and a public box key derived from it Provides.
- the Private Box Key (BK) is independent of the licensee and can be identical to any licensor for using the method his.
- the public box key is used to encrypt the sequence for creation or delete license parameters used by a licensor transferred to the licensee.
- a from is not absolutely necessary Manufacturer chosen secret private validation key (VK).
- VK Manufacturer chosen secret private validation key
- the associated public The validation key is saved by the manufacturer.
- the licensor can decide whether the functionality should be used with the Validation Key (VK) or not.
- the Validation Key (VK) is used to provide reference information, such as current date and time, encrypted in a tamper-proof manner from a reference source, e.g. a trust center, to the licensee transferred to.
- a licensor has that from the manufacturer provided public firm code (FC).
- the secret firm common Key (FCK) is provided by the manufacturer to the licensor for his Firm Code (FC).
- the licensor can use his own secret Firm Key (FK) independently freely determined by the manufacturer.
- the Firm Key (FK) is considered a secret Key for creating and changing the licensor's license parameters used, as well as a secret key for the generation of an encryption sequence.
- the licensor also has the one provided by the manufacturer Public Box Key (BKp).
- the list in FIG. 3 contains the keys and data which are stored in the protective device (3, see. Fig. 1) are included with the licensee. This includes a secret first Unique Private Validation Key (VK), which is provided by the manufacturer of the protective device 3 was chosen.
- VK first Unique Private Validation Key
- a date and time information can optionally from one Tamper-proof reference source can be passed to the licensee.
- the Validation Key (VK) is required for this.
- Located at the licensee also the secret Private Box Key (BK), whose Public Box Key (BKp) dated Manufacturer of the protective device has been made publicly available.
- SK Private Serial Key
- This private serial key (SK) represents a public Serial key (SKp) is available, which is used to encrypt the data transmission is used between licensor and licensee.
- the licensee also has the unique Serial Number (SN) as well the secret common key (CK), which is dependent on encryption of the Firm Code (FC) the Firm Common Key (FCK) is calculated.
- SN Serial Number
- CK secret common key
- FC Firm Code
- the memory 6 of the protective device 3 at the licensee contains in the Three memory areas 6a, 6b and 6c, which are shown here as examples, are for use of the protected software or data required license parameters. This consist of one firm item (FI) for each licenser and one or Several user items, each assigned to a firm item.
- FI firm item
- Firm Items 1, 2 and 3 each consist of the Firm Code (FC) of the respective Licensor, a Firm Programming Counter (FPC), the secret firm Key (FK) of the licensor concerned and a public temporary Session ID (SID).
- FC Firm Code
- FPC Firm Programming Counter
- FK secret firm Key
- SID public temporary Session ID
- the multiple user items each assigned to a firm item, each include a user code (UC), a master mask (MM) for variable availability for various program modules, functions etc., also user data (UD), an expiration date (ED), a limit counter (Limit Counter, LC) and a network user counter (NUC).
- UC user code
- MM master mask
- UD user data
- ED expiration date
- LC limit counter
- NUC network user counter
- the licensee needs to use the protected software or data valid license parameters, including a firm item and a user item.
- the flow chart of Figure 4 illustrates the creation of a new Firm Item at Licensee.
- a temporary firm item is created in the licensee's protective device and generates a random session ID (SID).
- This session ID (SID), the relevant one Public Box Key (BKp) and the one derived from the Serial Key (SK) Public Serial Key (SKp) then become the licensor via the Internet sent to get a Firm Creation Sequence.
- the use of the random Session ID (SID) prevents a process of the Creation of a license parameter with the same licensee for a later one Time can be repeated.
- the licensor now checks whether the public box received by the licensee Key (BKp) is permitted. This comparison is made with a list of the valid public Box Keys (BKp), which is the licensor from the manufacturer of the protective device had received. Without this authentication, an attacker could use any public Transfer keys to the licenser for which he has the private keys and then the secret Firm Key (FK) of the Firm Item Creation Sequence Experienced licensor.
- BKp public Box Keys
- the licensor now calculates a sequence that consists of Firm Code (FC), Firm Common Key (FCK) and the Firm Key (FK) chosen by him and the one previously received Session ID (SID) exists.
- This sequence is the first step with the public Serial key (SKp) encrypted, which was previously transmitted by the licensee has been. This ensures that the sequence is only decrypted by this licensee can be because no one else has the associated Private Serial Key (SK).
- the sequence encrypted in this way is the next step with the Public Box Key (BKp) encrypted. Only the licensee has the Private Box Key (BK) to decrypt the sequence again. This ensures that no unauthorized person can decrypt the sequence since it does not have the decryption key Private Box Key (BK) knows.
- the encrypted Firm Item Creation Sequence is then transmitted to the licensee via the Internet.
- the received Firm Item Creation Sequence is stored in the licensee's protective device decrypted with the Private Box Key (BK).
- the Private Box Key (BK) is secret and only known to the manufacturer of the protective device. It is therefore ensured that no potential attacker detects the Firm Item Creation Sequence contains the licensor's secret Firm Key (FK), can decrypt it.
- the Firm Item Creation Sequence which has so far only been decrypted, is completed decrypted with the Private Serial Key (SK).
- the Private Serial Key (SK) was accidentally generated in the protection device at the licensee and is therefore nobody accessible. Therefore the decryption of the sequence is extremely effective protected.
- Other licensees or their protective devices can use the sequence do not decrypt; this is not even the manufacturer of the protective device possible.
- the next step is to check whether a temporary firm item with the one in the Firm Item Creation Sequence containing Session ID (SID) was created, and whether the Firm Code (FC) matches the Firm Common Key (FCK). If not, the Firm item not created. If so, the temporary firm item is now a permanent and usable firm item.
- the Firm Code (FC) and the secret Firm Key (FK) are stored in the licensor's protection device. simultaneously a Firm Programming Counter is set to zero.
- the flow chart of Figure 5 illustrates how a firm item from memory protection device of the licensee is deleted. Deleting one Firm items are not security-relevant. For the licensee, however, it is It is important that the deletion of a firm item is not inadvertently or by a Can be done by unauthorized persons.
- This user item contains at least the user code (UC) when it is created.
- the User item a master mask (MM), a limit counter, an expiry date, contain a network user counter (NUC) or other added data. Changing a user item is done by modifying existing ones Share or add new items.
- Figure 6 illustrates the essential steps for creating, changing or deleting of a user item using a user item change sequence (UICS).
- UICS user item change sequence
- FC Firm Code
- UC User Code
- FK Firm Key
- the expiry date is checked and / or Limit counter reduced by a certain value.
- the decryption can only be initialized and carried out correctly if valid license parameters are available, the corresponding Firm Code (FC) and User Code (UC) and their limit counter or expiration date has not expired is.
- the flowchart of Figure 8 illustrates setting validated time / date information (Time Date Stamp, TDS). This information cannot be manipulated become.
- the limiter (9) uses this information to limit the time period the use of the protected software or data by the licensee.
- an authorized, secure body that uses the serial number (SN) and the public Validation Key (VKp) has a reference time by date and time that is encrypted with the Public Validation Key (VKp) at the licensee. Only the licensee has the Private Validation Key (VK) and can decrypt this time reference. This ensures that the reference time cannot be changed by an unauthorized person.
- the authorized Use this to block the entire procedure at the licensee, if this is from Licensor is used as an option, for example in the event of misuse by the Licensee.
